In The Blink Of An Eye

You Lied To Me

As I stood there in complete shock and frustration, he proceeded to approach us. He didn't even care to stop or think for one second about the fact that he was ruining one of the best days of my life. 

Why would he, right? 

I mean this was the same man that watched as the fire around me grew and took over and did nothing to stop it. 

Why should he care now? That's what he had become known for, for ruining my life and everything good I ever had in it. He had been rampaging through my life with a bulldozer and destroying everything in front of him not caring about how it would leave me feeling. 

"YOU CAN'T MARRY THIS MAN!" He blurted out. 

Before I could even get any words out of my mouth I turned to look at my brother and sister. I could see the confusion and surprise on their faces, especially my sisters. She was aware that the man telling me not to marry Jake wasn't Evan, it wasn't Silas or Daron… it was at that moment she realized that I wasn't lying to her. That was the moment she realized that we actually had a brother and that he was the man behind the mask the entire time. 

"HEY!!! YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE" shouted Silas as he got out of his seat and made his way to Brayden. 

"Madisyn… you need to listen to me. Jake is not who you think he is" Brayden uttered. 

"WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU? WHY SHOULD I EVER BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY?" I cried out. 

Out of nowhere my sister ran up and slapped him right across the face. My brother ran after her in order to stop her but it was too late. As she slapped him everyone froze and the whole room filled with silence. 

"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!! I OUTTA KILL YOU RIGHT HERE! HOW FUCKEN DARE YOU COME IN HERE AND RUIN THEIR SPECIAL DAY? HAVEN'T YOU RUINED ENOUGH ALREADY? YOU KILLED EVAN, YOU KILLED OUR MOTHER AND NOW YOU'RE HERE TRYING TO TAKE JAKE AWAY FROM HER TOO. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?? WHAT???" Yelled Aileen on top of her voice. 

She grabbed onto his shirt and was shaking him and pushing him around. I quickly ran up to her and grabbed her by the arms. 

"Aileen… hey Aileen, calm down. Please!!!" 

"NO!!! I HATED YOU. I DIDN'T TALK TO YOU BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU WERE LYING ABOUT HIM. I THOUGHT YOU WERE MAKING THE WHOLE THING UP TO SAVE SOMEONE. BUT HE… HE… HE ACTUALLY… OMG!" She cried as she fell to her knees. 

Jake and Liam grabbed Aileen and picked her up off the floor. My dad was shaking and pale as if he was going to pass out. Everyone was in shock and total distress as they tried to calm down the whole situation. As I looked around me and what he had turned my wedding into, I lost it! I completely lost all sense of reality and just snapped. 

"GET OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!! JUST GET LOST!" I screamed as I kept pushing him away. 

"I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE EVER AGAIN! GET OUT OF MY LIFE, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE" I cried out as I kept shoving him towards the door. 

I'm sure everyone around me wanted to jump and grab me in order to stop me. But, nobody did. Everyone was aware of how long I had been keeping this frustration and madness inside of me. They all knew how badly I hated him and how much I wanted him gone. Why should any of them have stopped me? I had every right to act the way I did. Out of all days and times he could have approached me and talked to me, explained everything, he chose today. He chose the day of my wedding to come in here and once again ruin everything. 

Suddenly I felt Jake's hand on my shoulder as he grabbed onto me. 

The only thing Jake was worried about was saving me from completely losing my damn mind and grabbing that knife by the wedding cake and stabbing him right here and right now. If anybody understood my hatred towards him it was Jake. He was there as Brayden watched me burn alive and enjoyed every second of it. He knew how badly I wanted to hurt him for everything he had put me through so the only thing Jake could focus on was trying to calm me down before it was too late.
